i cant find a better way to automate text without masking by hand

@yugo-hughes For simple typewriter animations, you can use "Title 04" preset in Titles & Text. More complex animations still require ProType Titler, which is still the most advanced title tool in VEGAS Pro.

Just as @jetdv says, scripts cannot directly modify the parameters of non-OFX effects. These non-OFX effects can only be modified by the form of presets. One interesting fact I found, though, is that ProType Titler actually uses XML to store the preset files. Therefore, you may be able to modify the text content by editing the preset files and applying it to ProType Titler. It's not a conventional solution, but it's the only one I can think of right now.

@zzzzzz9125 Tried it, but constantly gets a pop up error.

@Steve_Rhoden Are there any errors that can be reported? At least in my VP22, it works fine.

thanks @zzzzzz9125 this is huge this will help so much thank you!

@Steve_Rhoden I seem to know the cause of the problem: the presets folder doesn't exist. I've updated it and it now automatically creates folders.

@zzzzzz9125 Well, seems you have achieved the impossible thru 7 hours of hard work.... Quite admirable.... Handy bridge between Titles & Text and Pro Type Titler for whomever wanna go that route.... It's now working for me, as the presets folder issue was the cause of the error.

I placed both files (Script + .XML) in the default Script Menu folder. But when I run the script, all generated text events of the Protype Titler are blank. What am I doing wrong? See my screen record bellow.

@joelsonforte.br Any project examples? Just include the text events. I'll try to figure it out.

Yes, just include text events. If you need of the project, you can download in this link:

@joelsonforte.br It's strange. I can't reproduce your issue.

However, since it is empty, this means that the preset is not actually applied to ProType Titler.

You may need to check your registry path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DXTransform\Presets\{53FC0B44-BD58-4716-A90F-3EB43168DE81}\

and this file path:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\VEGAS\FX Presets\{53FC0B44-BD58-4716-A90F-3EB43168DE81}\ProTypeTitlerBaseTemp.dxp

You have to make sure that both are present. Based on these two, the following preset should appear immediately:

It's possible that there's an error in the script, but you may need to find out what exactly goes wrong. At least on my PC, it works fine. Depending on what you find next, I may continue to revise the script.

All ok here:

See the registry path:

See the file path:

I just find it strange these characters inside the ProTypeTitlerBaseTemp.dxp file.

But I noticed that inside the ProTypeTitlerBaseTemp.dxp file, the text was copied correctly.

This is really a mystery, but I'm already used to it. 😂😂😂😂

@joelsonforte.br These are binary data, not normal text, so don't worry about them.

Can you find "ProTypeTitlerBaseTemp" preset in VEGAS Pro? What would happen if you apply it manually?

@zzzzzz9125

I think everything is correct. I saw your screen recording showing how it works. It must be something with my configuration. Don't worry about it, the important thing is that it works for most people. Thank you so much for your effort! 👍
